Harvey Night of Victory

Harvey Milk, making his
third try for a seat on the
Board of Supervisors, won
a smashing victory in Dis¬
trict 5 Tuesday to become
the first up-front Gay to
be elected in the State of
California.

Milk, liberal and inde¬
pendent, put together a
coalition of both Gay and
straight voters to win his
seat in the Castro-Haight
area and bested his near¬
est opponent by more than
2,500 votes.

It was pure bedlam at
Milk's Castro Street cam¬
era store as the early re¬
turns put the popular Milk

in first place - a spot he
held until the final vote
count was in. By mid¬
night, the overflow crowd
had erupted out into the
street. More than 300
waited outside the already
jammed headquarters.
Champagne ana beer
flowed freely as Milk re¬
turned from a television
interview on a motor¬
cycle. The headquarters
went into a frenzy as ABC
News declared Milk the
winner.

It was a sweet victory
for Harvey Milk, and he
was clearly in a jubilant
mood as he worked his

way through well-wishers
and campaign workers.

Once Milk reached the in¬
side of his headquarters,
the crowd went wild. One
of the first to arrive on
the scene to congratulate
the winner was Senator
Milton Marks and his wife.

Milk thanked the Senator
and went on to thank indi¬
vidual campaign aides who
had been with him from
the beginning.

Congratulatory calls
tied up the lines for hours
as the busy Milk accepted
calls first from Burt Pines
in L.A. and from as far
away as New York City.

Don Amador, the aide to
Mayor Tom Bradley,
phoned in his best wishes.

At 12:30 Milk went out-

» side his headquarters to
_ greet the growing crowd
on the street as Rick
Stokes, a political rival of
Milk's, arrived to concede
and offer his congratula¬
tions. Milk clearly be¬
comes a man to be reck¬
oned with in San
Francisco politics, and it
was apparent by the calls
he was getting from all
over the country Wednes¬
day morning. Only last
Sunday the Chronicle did
a story on Gay power and
the political effect of
Gays in this city. That
article referred to Jim
Foster. one of Rick
Stokes closest political
advisors, as the "chief
Gay power broker" in Sam
Francisco - no more! Milk
clearly becomes "The
Maui" now. As the cam¬
paign manager of one
Supervisor said recently,
"Foster can no longer de¬
liver, and the only one in
town who still doesn't
know it is the Mayor him-

will clearly be on Milk's
terms.

The top three vote-
getters in the District 5
race were Milk with 5,907
votes, attorney Terence
Hallinan with 3,468, and
Gay attorney Rick Stokes
with 2,898. Before the
victory celebration at the
Milk headquarters ended
about 3:00am, Stokes, St.
Clair, Hagen and Rita
George haa adl arrived to
wish the winner luck.
When homophobe Senator
John Briggs was asked to
comment on Milk's victo¬
ry, he snapped: "The

people who elected
Harvey Milk got what
they deserved" . . . and
hung up.

A new day has arrived
in California politics, a
day when the voters in

District 5 elected an up¬
front Gay man to repre¬

will make a good Super¬
visor: he works hard,

assures us aill, Gay and

will nave a fresh, bright
and hard-working Super¬
visor on the new Board of
Supervisors.

Four Men
Assaulted
On Castro

Four Gay men were
assaulted Saturday. Nov.
5, in the Castro/Market
area in the early evening.
A lone assailant, Gregory
Poole, began his attacks
without provocation along
Market Street (between
Castro & Noe). His first
victim, on his way home
from work, was beaten
and thrown to the ground
by Poole around 7:00pm.
Uttering homophobic

slurs, he assaulted the
others at the bus stop in
front of the Bank of
America.

Poole, a huge man as
described by witnesses,
was restrained until the

S olice arrived. He was
hereupon arrested. The
victims filed formal
charges and Poole was
arraigned the following
Monday. He pleaded "not
guilty' - although there

$87,000 ‘Bowl” Profit Makes SOHR
“Wealthy”

by George Mendenhall

Save Our Human Rights, formed only a few
months ago, has suddenly become the most wealthy
Gay organization in California. The professional
educational group, with only $3,000 in the bank, has
released a financial statement revealing that it
received $93 ? 582 profit from its "A Star Spangled
Night for Rights'^ event at the Hollywood Bowl.
Approximately $5,000 was held in reserve in a Los
Angeles account for emergency after-the-fact
claims, and $87,000 is being placed in the SOHR
account in San Francisco.

Some criticism of the event centered on the
two-month wait for the accounting. Many people
*4 9 ot comprehend the magnitude of the $355,600
affair, which required the payment of a variety of
expenses after the production - before an accounting
could be made.

The final tabulation reveals what happens when
an organization rents a facility as big as Hollywood
Bowl ($35,800) and is required to pay union scale for
its staffing. Musicians (all union) cost $20,000
alone, while stagehands (meeting established Bowl

Advertising (newspapers, radio, posters, etc.)
cost close to $37,000. The underwriter, Dr. Paul
Rubinstein, received a $25,000 fee from the
$355,000 gate.

The status of the $87,000 received by SOHR has
yet to be fully resolved. In the original contract
signed by SOHR with producer Aaron Russo, a
special committee was established with veto power
over proposed SOHR projects. This committee
'which is soon to have a new name) was called the
»tar Spangled Night for Rights Committee. Its
current members are Aaron Russo, producer; Nancy
Roth, SOHR President; Atty. Richard MarelL SOHR
Director; Gerald Edelstein, Los Angeles CPA; and
Ralph Goldman, a New York City attorney.

The Vice President of SOHR, Marvin Jones, told
B.A.R. that a new contract is being negotiated with
this committee and that there is a general agree¬
ment by all concerned” that the committee will
"review SOHR activities" and not function to veto
SOHR projects. How this will function in practice is
not entirely clear and will be discussed further in a
major B.A.R. article on SOHR which is in prepara¬
tion.

Save Our Human Rights is a non-profit, educa¬
tional foundation which is concerned about the
rights of all, with a special emphasis on Gay rights.
Its status as an organization has been publicly
questioned by a local attorney, Walter Kaplan, and
others after a controversial beginning in which the
current SOHR officials were accused of a "take
over" after its first public meeting.

C.H.E.E.R.
Findings Released

SAN FRANCISCO - A S.F.
State University Psychol-
°gy Professor who heads a
federally-funded research
project to document and
analyze discrimination
against homosexuals re¬
cently told a Harvard
audience that early re¬
sults show homosexuals
and bisexuals are discrim¬
inated against in many
institutions, as are het¬
erosexuals who fit "Gay"
stereotypes.

Speaking at the Harvard
School of Education, Pro¬
fessor John DeCecco said,
"Data show that hetero¬
sexuals may incur such
treatment simply for
appearance or mannerisms
deemed homosexually
oriented."

"However, evidence
indicates that the major¬
ity of homosexual men
appear masculine and
most Lesbians fulfill pop¬
ular images of femininity.
You simply can't tell a
book by the cover. Sexual
orientation is usually not
observable, and in any
case, there is a great deal
more to a human being
than sexuality.

"Our early research
shows that homosexuals

are discriminated against
in such institutions as
schoolsj clinics and vari¬
ous civil service agencies.
The most frequently
abridged rights are equal¬
ity of opportunity and
procedural due process."

Sometimes the process
is there, but in name only,
says DeCecco: "In one

incident we studied, a
teacher known to be Gay
was told by a superintend¬
ent: 'There will be a thor¬
ough investigation, then
you will be dismissed.’"

"Victims in such cases
are increasingly willing to

{ >ublicize the process and
itigate their cases."

Dr. DeCecco heads the
Center for Homosexual
Education, Evaluation and
Research (C.H.E.E.R.),
which is based at San
Francisco State Univer¬
sity.

The Center’s study of
discrimination against
homosexuals is part of a
comprehensive five-year
program that will involve
researchers from the
social sciences and the
law.

With a grant from the
National Rape Center of
the U.S. Department of
Health, Education and
Welfare, C.H.E.E.R. has
also begun a two-year
project for the study and

Mayor on
Porno Zone

SAN FRANCISCO - Mayor
George Moscone has made
known his opposition to a
"combat zone" approach
to the control of adult
bookstores and movie
houses and urged the
Board of Supervisors to
develop a program for the
control of pornography
which is grounded in
"reason and common
sense."

The Mayor made his
views known in a letter to
the Board upon his signing
of legislation creating a
four-month moratorium
on the opening of any
adult bookstores or movie
theaters while the Board
studies ways in which to
control sucn enterprises.

"I think it important to
your deliberations," the
Mayor told the Board, "to
know that while I recog¬
nize the need for a re¬
examination of City poli¬
cy on the matter of adult
bookstores and theaters in
San Francisco, I will under
no circumstances approve
legislation which man¬
dates the creation of a
j’combat zone’ for various
i: adult enterprises. We
have seen too many ex¬
amples of the violence
ana law enforcement up¬
roar which results from,
such an arbitrary zoning"
tactic in other American
cities to think that such
an approach is advisable
for San Francisco," the
Mayor said.

"While the arguments of
some residents that vari¬
ous adult enterprises be
removed from their im¬
mediate vicinity are com¬
pelling, we cannot use
those arguments as justi¬
fication for locating our
City’s ENTIRE conglomer¬
ation of adult bookstores
and theaters - and all the
problems they may pre¬
sent - in an area which is
adjacent to yet another
residential neighborhood.
Merely moving the prob¬
lem from one part ol our
City to another is no solu¬
tion at all," the Mayor
concluded.

Pride Takes On The Churches

The federal tax exemp¬
tion status of many funda¬
mentalist Christian

churches is being chal¬
lenged by the Pride Foun¬
dation. These churches,
the backbone of the
initiative effort against
Gay teachers by Btate
Senator John Briggs, are
clearly in violation of the
Federal Tax Reform Act
of 1976, according to
Pride's Paul Hardman and
its attorney, Don Knutsen.

Briggs did not attempt
to re-group in his effort
to obtain the necessary
312,000 valid signatures
but immediately re-filed
to place the proper word¬
ing on the new petitions.
Pride's challenge of the
original petitions revealed
that Briggs inadvertently
had left off seven in¬
consequential but legally
necessary words. The
"Gay teachers" issue will
now be on the November
ballot, if it qualifies,
along with Briggs as a
candidate for Governor.

It is Pride's contention
that Edward Hollingshead,
head of the State Attor¬
ney General's Tax Exempt
Division, is in error when
he claims that churches
are allowed some political
activity. Hollingshead
told the press that church
political acticity must be
substantial" in order for

by George Mendenhall

the tax exemption to be
seriously challenged.

Hardman states that other
tax-exempt groups may
have some political
activity, but that church¬
es may not have any polit¬
ical activity under the
new 1976 tax reform act.
He has contacted Hol¬
lingshead and is asking
him to make public his
error.

Briggs has until May to
quality his measure. He
will require approximately
450,000 - allowing for dis¬
qualified signatures - and
is confident that he can
achieve this, goal by using
the churches as petition
distribution points.

Pride has submitted its
suggested wording for the
California Save Our
Children petitions. The
request tor its option
came from the State
Attorney General's office,
evidently in its anticipa¬
tion that Pride would con¬
tinue to challenge in the
courts any wording that it
considers improper.

Pride has challenged
the earlier wording on the
petitions because it did
not clearly indicate that
the initiative is an effort
to rid the schools of ALL
suspected Gay teachers,
not just those who are up¬
front.

Williams called upon all
Black brothers and sisters
to join them in aiding
America's Gay minority in
their struggle for human
rights.

Rev. Williams stated,
"We need acceptance of
rights of ALL people. I
am Black, which is ap¬
parent, and I do know

what the struggle is."

Brown added, "As a
Black Tm familiar with
human rights being
denied. That's why I'm
here today on behalf of
Gay rights ... as a macho
image to lend myself to
fight for human rights."

Brown said he believed
that "discrimination in
sports against Gays was
practiced - maybe more
so than in other areas,"
though undeserved as long
as a person was compe¬
tent.

MCC Phoenix
Burnt

PHOENIX - The Casa de
Cristo Metropolitan Com¬
munity Church of Phoenix
suffered a devastating
fire Sunday, Oct. 23. Just
after everyone left the
Congregational Meeting

B.A.R.-SECTION 1 NOVEMBER 10, 1977 PAGE 8

and just before the Sunday
evening services, at ap-

E roximately '6:15pm; fire
roke out in the kitchen
facilities of the church,
completely destroying the
kitchen and social hall and
inflicting severe damage
to the rest of the struc¬
ture. Fire officials

suspect arson as the
cause, pointing out that
flammable liquid was
poured in the kitchen area
and ignited. The kitchen
door was found open by
the firemen, reinforcing
their opinion of arson.

Damage to the struc¬
ture and contents amounts
to about $20,000. Al¬
though some insurance
will be forthcoming, it
would not be nearly suffi¬
cient to reproduce the
building or purchase an¬
other. The church has
been subject to vandalism
in the past with thefts of
the church organ and all
of its chairs as well as the
usual harassment of
broken windows and ob¬
scene phone calls from
time to time.

The church had just
been completely re¬
modeled in a Spanish
motif, with the help of
many of the congregation,
and there was to have
been a re-dedication cere¬
mony on Sunday, Nov. 6,
coinciding with the visit
of Rev. Troy Perry and
the District Conference
being held that weekend.
The name "Casa de
Cristo" had just been
chosen and was to be
added to the name of the
church at the re-dedica-
tion ceremonies.

Business Guild
Formed In Hawaii

HONOLULU - Early this
year a group of concerned
business people realized
their lack of representa¬
tion in the business com¬
munity of Hawaii. Led by
the Rev. Paul Peachey of
the Metropolitan Commu¬
nity Church, a number of
these people met at the
first luncheon meeting.
From this meeting
evolved the Aloha Busi¬
ness Guild uniting busi¬
nesspersons and/or

professionals in develop¬
ing programs which would
benefit the members and
enable them to more
effectively perform in the
business community.

Last spring the Aloha
Business Guild established
the motto "Always Be
Great" and criteria of
service for its members:
To strive for personal
excellence, to personally
support each other, and to
help the greater commu¬
nity when possible.

In order to give the
organization official

status, the Aloha Business
Guild was incorporated
under the laws of the
State of Hawaii as a non¬
profit corporation in
August. Since that time,
the members of the Aloha
Business Guild have con¬
tinued to grow and expand
their services to the
members. Through its
Referral Service, the
Aloha Business Guild at-

ees find" more fulfilling
positions.

The Aloha Business
Guild has helped in such
worthy community affairs
as the drive to help the
California Fund for
Human Dignity, Hawaii’s
Night Ministry, and the
local Muscular Dystrophy
Fund Drive.

The Aloha Business
Guild now has an informa¬
tion packet available
which furnishes to people
on the mainland who
anticipate a visit to the
Paradise of the Pacific
information on where to

S o and where not to go
urine their visit. It lists
retail stores, places of
interest, and professional
services which are avail¬
able to make the tourist’s
vacation more enjoyable.

The Aloha Business
Guild maintains an office
at 1186 Fort St. Mall,
Room 200, Honolulu,
Hawaii 96813, and would
be glad to answer any
inquiries.

D.C. Pomo Fire—
No Escape

The fire that swept a
Washington, D.C., porno
movie house killing 8 men
serves to remind tne Gay
community of inadequate
practices m so many Gay
oriented establishments.

Of the 15 patrons at the
Cinema Follies, only

after 13 years of seminary acknowledges he is Gay missed by the order
training, was denied ordi- but that he has always Roman Catholic priests.
— by his Jesuit been inactive. Neverthe-
• Sweetin less, he has been dis-

of

The Jesuit superior in

Ip qualified employ¬

remains hospitalized.

According to the Dis¬
trict of Columbia Fire
Dept., the cinema ap¬
peared to be in compli¬
ance with fire and build¬
ing regulations (one exit
door with an exit light
above it).

The Cinema Follies had
the one required exit door
(the front door). It was
from this door that "the
fire roared up the steps
into the cinema itself."
Another door which led to
the roof could not be
opened and according to
witnesses was padlocked.

Washington’s Gay

Activist Alliance held an
emergency meeting the
day after the blaze. The
GAA expressed dismay
over existing inadequate
fire regulations, met with
city officials, and pro¬
posed Gay people "police"
their own establishments.

The nation has wit¬
nessed numerous fires in
Gay-oriented establish¬
ments over the past two
years including (San Fran¬
cisco) bars, baths,
churches, porno houses.

If set, the perpetrators
stand criminal; if no way
of escape, the owners ana
managers are also crim¬
inally liable. In San Fran¬
cisco, with still too many
Gay establishments the
only way out remains the
way in - where the fires
often begin. Surely it's
time again for Gay com¬
munity activists to start
identifying those places
that jeopardize our
safety.

, NEW YORK CITY - Last

charge of priestly prep¬
aration, Albert P. Bart¬
lett, said that Sweetin's
"total personality" was
the cause of his ouster.
Sweetin's "ability to re¬
late to other people" was
questioned as well as
Sweetin's "adoption of
certain forms of behavior
characteristic of a homo¬
sexual lifestyle."

Some of Sweetin's fel¬
low religious have come
to his aid. Seventeen
priests at the Jesuit Com¬
munity Center in Man¬
hattan signed a letter pro¬
testing the action. The
would-be priest has ap¬
pealed to the Sacred Con¬
gregation for Religious in
the Vatic an, hardly con¬
sidered to be a liberal
review board.

135 Canadian
Gays Busted

MONTREAL - The
"Trucks" bar was the

scene Oct. 28 of a mas¬
sive police raid. The
police special guard
dressed in battle fatigues
and carrying semi¬
automatic weapons,"

according to GCN, burst
into the Gay leather bar
and arrested 135 men.

All were charged under
Quebec law with "being
found inside a bawdy
house." Eight were
charged with gross in¬
decency." All those ar¬
rested were booked, com¬
pelled to undergo exam¬
inations for venereal
disease, and then re¬
leased.

The "Trucks" is said to
be the closest thing that
Montreal has to a New
York-style back-room bar.

The day following the

g olice raid, some 2000
ray people marched in
downtown Montreal pro¬
testing the police sweep.

Commission begins the
long-expected phase-out
of chief publicist Anita
Bryant, the born-again

her employers while con¬

EDWARD KOCH

Pro-Ga

New Yor^ Mayor

NEW YORK - Democratic
congressman Edward

Kocn, who shunned polls
that showed him a shoo-in
and campaigned like an
underdog, defeated three
opponents yesterday to
become New York's l05th
mayor.

His victory was any¬
thing but a landslide, how¬
ever, as he captured just
50 per cent of the vote.

With former Miss
America Bess Myerson
and Gov. Hugh Carey-
standing behind nim, Koch
told a victory celebration
he would work hard to cut
costs and control crime.

"While the band may be
playing 'Happy Days Are
Here Again, we cannot
lose sight of the tremen¬
dous challenge that awaits
us . . . the job of turning
New York City around
will not be easy.

Koch defeated his
closest and most bitter
rival, Liberal Mario
Cuomo, and Republican
and conservative chal¬
lengers to cap a nine-
month drive from obscur¬
ity to Gracie Mansion.

Persistent campaigning
and promises to get tough

with criminals and munic¬
ipal unions won him sup¬
port from tax- and crime-
weary New Yorkers.

With 76 percent of the
vote counted, Koch had
523,590 votes or 50 per¬
cent. Cuomo had 443 ? 178
or 42 percent; Republican
Roy Goodman had 46,723
or 4 percent, and Con¬
servative Barry Farber
had 44,361 votes or 4 per¬
cent.

"I am clearly a victim
of religious persecution,"
continued Bryant, "and
this is another evidence of
religious decay in Ameri¬
ca.' Thereby suggesting
her commercial appeal or
ineffectiveness (ner job
status) is somehow linked
with "acts of God."

"There are those forces
in this country who,
through boycotts and in¬
fluencing of some of the
staff oi the Department
of Citrus, want me fired
only because I took a
stand as a concerned citi¬
zen and for the protection
of my four children,"
Bryant said.

Tm sick and tired of
being put on the cross
continually. If they want
to fire me, let them do it
now and give me peace."

While demanding her
right to peace, Bryant has
continued her campaign to
deny the peace to millions
of her fellow citizens.

On Friday, Oct. 7, she
appeared in Indianapolis
(the main drawing card) at
a "Rally for Decency."
The purpose of the ralh
was to rei
as a felony

One of the organizers

at ~ 11— FL _ i • .

were picketing two blocks
away in the rain, "It's a
shame it's raining. It
might wash off their
makeup."

Another organizer,

Greg Dixon, minister of
the Indianapolis Baptist
Temple, said to a report¬
er, ’'Our parks are not
safe for our children to
play in - they are recruit¬
ing; they can't procreate;
they are recruiting."

State Senator Donaly
Boys (also a sponsor of the
rally) said to the 3000
fundamentalists (85%
Baptists), "Homosexuality
is an attack on civiliza¬
tion and a running sore on
the face of society. We
will try to have sex crimi¬
nals treated and tried
fair, fast and firm. We
insist if they do the crime
they must do the time."

Bob Green. Anita Bry¬
ant's husband, also spoke

to the crowd. He at¬
tacked Gays for not loving
his wife. He made refer¬
ence to the "Star Spangled
Night for Rights" in Los
Angeles where no one
said, "We love the Bry¬
ants." Green said, ". . . do
you love us? You know by
your actions you don't;
and if you don't there's
something wrong in your
heart, ana the thing that's
wrong in your heart is
that you don't have the
love of Jesus in your heart
like we-do."

On introduction, Anita
Bryant said that her hus¬
band is the head of her
house and that before she
began her anti-Gay cru¬
sade she "turned to him
and asked his permission."
She also said "if parents
don't raise up and set
standards for our children,
the humanists, the ultra
liberals and the militant
homosexuals will!"

The next morning a
march and rally was neld
in downtown Indianapolis.
Greg Dixon, Baptist min¬
ister, called for the im¬
prisonment of all homo¬
sexuals. "We're here to
tell President Carter that
we're not for recognizing
these criminal homosexu¬
als. We want them in jail
where they belong!"

Bryant was paid $3000
for her appearance in
Indianapolis, and Oct. 27

g ave a concert in South
end, Indiana, where she
reaffirmed "her protest
against indecency^ and
homosexuality." Friday,
Oct. 29 f Bryant partici¬
pated in a “"sacred con¬
cert" in Peoria, Illinois,
where some of the funds
raised will reportedly go
to the Save Our Children
organization (whose name
is Deing changed to Pro¬
tect Americans Children
due to a lawsuit over the
use of the name).

Commenting on Bry-

HOW GOME THE LATEST HAIR STYLE
ALWAYS LOOKS GOOD ON SOMEBODY ELSE?

Because no two people are alike. The man who looks fine with the latest style is
the man whose hair texture and features are complemented by that style. The
troubl.e with any "latest style" is that it can't fake individuality into account.
So, a lot of men try it and end up looking wrong.

At King's Court we don't try to fit you to a hair style. We do it the other way
around, J>y' cutting your hair so that it looks best for your face. We take%to
account whether your hair is thick or fine and how much of it you have. We'll
give you an individual style that will be easy to care for between visits. We'll even
give you a cup of coffee and some lively conversation (but only if you want it).
And, our prices surprise you.

Florida Juvenile Who Shot
Gay Sentenced

MIAMI - John Ward,
wounded Gay bartender,
said to the court before
the disposition of his as¬
sailant: "Your honor, I

understand that the Juve¬
nile Court is geared
toward rehabilitation. If
this is true, I would like to
see the young man work
with physically or mental¬
ly handicapped persons for
a couple of years to make
him more aware of what
life is really about." Ward
was shot with a BB Rifle
upon leaving a Dade
County rally.

Jose Osario, court ap¬
pointed youth counselor,

? laced his recommenda-
ions before the court:

That he be committed
to the Youth Service pro-

f rams and suspend sen-
encing as long as the
defendant and his family
commit themselves to the
following four point pro¬
gram: (!) psychotherapy;
12) family counseling; (3)
school program (athletics
& academic); (4) restitu¬
tion to the victim.

The defense introduced
three football coaches as
witnesses to minimize the
issue of bodily harm and
its seriousness, with the
hope that the Court would
go along with the athletic
program as a means for
rehabilitation.

Judge Gelber stated, "I
don't believe for one
minute that the athletic

E rogram at Coral Gables
lien School, as good as it
is, has the kind of impact
that we are talking about
here, as it relates to how

people treat one another.
This case is one of the
most distressing ones I've
had before me, and I'm
not prepared to view this
as an ordinary situation.
The community suffered
terrible damage here as a
result of this, and I want
the community to know
that we are not going to
tolerate this kindT of be¬
havior. "

Judge Gelber stated to
the defense, "I am not
going to accept the state¬
ments that you made to
minimize the act. It's a
terrible act, a serious act.
It wasn't a sting as you
say it was; it was a shock
to the community, not a
sting. I am telling you the
reaction it had on the
community and many
thinking people outside
this community. There¬
fore, I am going to com -
mit this young man to the
Youth Service Division,
and that full restitution
be made to the victim and
that a follow-tip report be
made by Dr. Bhellow in
sixty days and an ongoing
report be made every
sixty days thereafter."

The Dade County Coali¬
tion for Human Rights
was pleased that Judge
Gelber treated this case
as a serious matter and
not as an average juvenile
case. That the judge
agreed with the Youth
Service report, and that,
hopefully, through proper
counseling, this youth will
be rehabilitated and be¬
come a constructive
member of society.

Massachusetts
Man Sues Police

BOSTON - A 24 year old
man last week filed suit
against five New Bedford

S olice officers charging
lem with harassment ana
deprivation of civil rights
because he is a homosexu¬
al. The plaintiff, Earle W.
Weeks, is seeking a total
of $500,000 in damages.

The suit alleges that on
July 31, Officers Frank
Guzaj and Robert Trojak
illegally searched the
maps car, and without
probable cause, placed
him in a police car. Offi¬
cer Kenneth Gifford then
joined the other two offi¬
cers, according to the
complaint, and brought
Weeks to a cell, where
Gifford kicked him,
banged his head against
the wall, and twisted his
arm behind his back. Gif¬
ford is also accused of
verbally abusing the de¬
fendant, and threatening
to kill him if he ever
found him in downtown
New Bedford again.

The officers are ac¬
cused of placing Weeks in
jail under the Massachu¬
setts "protective custody"
statute, although they did
not follow the require¬
ments of the law, which
entitle the subject to a
telephone call and a sobri¬
ety test. Weeks asserts
that he is a non-drinker.
(The other two officers
named in the complaint
were in charge of the
police station at the time

of the incident.)

On Sept. 19, the suit
charges that Trojak and
Guzaj parked their police
car in front of the plain¬
tiff's house and remained
there until the next morn¬
ing.

of her livelihood and vari¬
ous forms of harassment
would not deter her from
campaigning against

homosexuality.

"I'm not afraid," she
said in an interview. "So
they kill me. So what?"

Saying her more than
$100,00D-a-year job with
the Florida Citrus Com¬
mission is in jeopardy,
Bryant declared she
"won't be intimidated."
She continued:

"If that's the price I
have to pay for standing
as the concerned mother
of my four children and to
make this a decent coun¬
try to live in, then it's
worth paying the price."

She spoke after taping
two programs at NBC.

She said various threats
from "militant homosexu¬
als" prompted her to cut
short her stay in New
York and caused her to
cancel a news conference
scheduled by the publisher
of The Anita Bryant
Story" for today at the
New York Hilton. Gay
activists pledged to tie upj
traffic and form picket
lines, even in her absence.

Bryant and her husband I
were warned that demon-!
strators were headed for
the building. Bryant's
husband, Bob Green, re¬
marked as they hurriedly
departed to catch a flight
home to Florida, "Why
don't they kill us and get
it over with?"

NEW YORK - NOV. 4

As 150 Gay rights
activists demonstrated at
the NBC building in mid-
Manhattan yesterday, the
network broadcast a taped
interview in which Anita
Bryant said she favors a
federal law outlawing
homosexuality.

The singer and orange
juice saleswoman pleaded
lack of legal qualifica¬
tions when asked what the
scope and penalties of
such a law should be.

She has been on a pub¬
licity tour to promote a
new book, "The Anita
Bryant Story."

Asked whether she
thought homosexuality
should be illegal across
the nation, Bryant said: "I
believe in God's laws and
that the law of the land
should be in alignment
with it."

"Yes I do," she said
when the question of
whether there should be a
federal law was repeated.

The demonstrators,
marching along the side of
Radio City Music Hall
across West 50th Street
from the NBC building,
chanted "Gay power," and
carried a variety of signs
critical of Bryant and

anyone else opposed to
homosexual rights.

At one point, the dem¬
onstrators tried to burn
Bryant in effigy, but

f iolice moved in and ex-
inguished the smoldering
dummy.

THE TRADING POST

Wichita Backlash

The Wichita, Kansas
City Commission on Sep¬
tember 27, 1977, gave

final approval to an ordi¬
nance banning discrimina¬
tion in the areas of
employment, housing and

S ublic accommodations on
tie basis of one's sexual
and/or affectional prefer¬
ence and marital status.
This ordinance was pro-

S osed and guided into law
y the Homophile Alliance
of Sedgwick County. The
Alliance is a political
organization composed of
Lesbians and Gay men in
the Wichita community.
Purposes of the Alliance
include passage of Wichi¬
ta's Gay Rights Law, sup-

B ort of our Congressman
•an Glickman for the
Koch Bill, increasing the
awareness of the general

? iublic to alternatives to
raditional lifestyles, and
taking responsible politi¬
cal action as deemed
necessary to guarantee
free exercise of civil

rights without regard to
affectional or sexual pref¬
erence and marital status.

At this time an anti¬
homosexual group in
Wichita calling itself the
Concerned Citizens for
Community Standards has
started a petition drive to
obtain 9>815 signatures to
have a referendum on the
ordinance. They are
working hard in Baptist
Churches and the local
Catholic Bishop has
spoken out in support of
their petition drive.

Our support comes from
Commissioners who voted
in favor, the Religious
Caucus for Human Rights,
the Jewish Community,

She has gone from cheesecake, to singing

Her act, as engineered by husband/publicity
agent Bob Green, has developed into a profitable
medicine show. Her snake oil sells.

Every time Bryant headlines a fundamentalist/
revival/anti-homosexual rally, she charges some
$5,000. She is currently huckstering a new book,
"The Anita Bryant Story/ That means the interview
and talk show circuit, grabbing headlines, publicity
stunts, all in the name of ringing up sales, in brief,
excoriating Gay people is a money maker and the
Bryant-Greens are a most astute business team.

At the same time, she lays claim to the
ultimate Christian status of martyrdom. Which
means instant entry into heaven, and instant saint¬
hood minus judgment or atonement. She now
presents herself as a "marked woman." That Gay
people are out to get her - as if Gays were some sort
of sexual Mafia.

We doubt Anita actually wants to die because
imminent saints aren't that preoccupied with the
goods of this world. She continues to fight for "her
livelihood," her more than $100,000 a year job with
the Florida Citrus Commission.

As Liberace might put pit, Anita is crying and

to sit on her face, we are all dupes - the public, pro

convention.

Up until their October
decision, they did not be¬
lieve it would further
their goals.

NEW YORK - At its 36th
general conference, the
Industrial Workers of the
World (IWW) has taken a
stand in favor of Gay
rights. The organization
was one of the major
forces in American labor
until the early '20s when
it was led by now legend¬
ary figures like Joe Hill
and Big Bill Haywood.

In its October state¬
ment, the organization
resolved that the IWW
recognizes the current
crusade against the rights
of homosexuals as another
attack on the rights of all
working people. We sup-

E ort the efforts to defend
omosexuals and bisexuals
against these attacks, and
support the inclusion of
sexual preference protec¬

nation clauses of union

Behind the Headlines ii

Houston Women’s Meet Affects Gay
Movement

by George Mendenhall

Anti-feminist and anti-
Gay forces will move in
on Houston, Texas, this
month for the National
Women's Conference.
Headed by the notoriously
ultra-conservative Phyllis
Schlafly, the political
Right will attempt to
dominate the Nov. 18-21
session which will attract
2,000 delegates from
across the country and
many thousands of observ¬
ers. Congress provided $4
million for the convention
and the planning which led
to its creation.

Schlafly publicly identi¬
fies with Anita Bryant.
Both call themselves
housewives" when in
reality they are well-
financed politicians, at¬
tempting to block liberal
causes m this country.
Joining the Schlafly
forces in Houston will be
the Ku Klux Klan, the
John Birch Society, the
American Nazi Party, the
Church of Jesus Christ of
the Latter-day Saints
(Mormons), Save Our
Children supporters, and
Schlafly's own anti-ERA
movement.

What many Gay people
(particularly Gay males)
do not realize is that the

the same root origin as
the oppression against
Gav people. Schlafly has
said that the women's
movement is run by Lesbi¬
ans who want to destroy
the American family. She

volunteered to help' Anita
Bryant in Miami during
the repeal effort there.

Feminists (straight and
Gay) at the conference
will tell the country (and
Congress) that women
want' equal rights, the
right to have abortions,
federal child-care centers
and equality (legal and
social) in sexual prefer¬
ence. An estimated 20%
of the delegates will be
hard-core Schlafly allies
who will oppose these
measures. This group will
also have its own "Right"
mini-convention at the
Astroarena, which seats
8,500.

The 96 California dele-

t ates and 26 at-large
elegates will be joined by
many upfront Gay activ-
ists t such as Del Martin,
chair of San Francisco's
Commission on the Status
of Women; Phyllis Lyon,
City Human Rights Com¬
missioner; and Jo Daly,
the Gay staff member on
the Human Rights Com¬
mission. Thirteen of the
96 from California are up¬
front Gay women.

Lyon emphasizes that
"what we are talking
about is what women want
from the government in
this country. That is why
this conference is vitally
important to us all. It
would be disastrous if the
session told the President
and Congress that women
are saying NO to Gay
rights." She stresses that

Open Notebook

Latent Echoes

A certain gentleman,
presumably straight, has
taken issue with the argu¬
ments in my last column.
I suggested that latent
homosexuality may be the
root of antihomosexuality
in men, and I raised a
question about whether all

men might be naturally
homosexual.

The gentleman says:
"You have simply restated
that old belief, common
among homosexuals, that
everybody is homosexual.
It's wishful thinking, an
attempt to justify your
own behavior, an excuse.
By the same kind of rea¬
soning you could argue
that all homosexuals are
latently heterosexual."

Yes, I have restated an
old belief. It's still
around, I suspect, because
there's an element of
truth in it. Old ideas
aren't necessarily false
ideas. But whether it's
wishful thinking, an at¬
tempt at self-justifica¬
tion, or an excuse depends
upon where you're sitting.
The gentleman assumes
that Gay people need such
things because he believes
there is something wrong
with homosexuality, be¬
cause he imagines that
Gay people feel guilty. I
can't speak for all Gay
men, but I can speak for
myself: I don't feel

guilty, and I don't need an
excuse. Moreover, I re¬
fuse to be distracted by
personal attack.

It is true that by the
same kind of reasoning
you could argue that an
homosexuals are latently
heterosexual. I haven t
denied that - and
wouldn't. But there is a
difference in the two situ¬
ations that musn't be
overlooked: Gay men

don't go around persecut¬
ing straight men and don't
insist that there is some¬
thing wrong with their
sexual preferences. For
this reason, my subject
isn't Gay men - it's
straight men and their
feelings about homosexu¬
ality.

I'm not suggesting that
straight men don't uke to
bed women. Heterosexu¬
ality is a fact of life, and
surely all Gay men accept

its existence. Otherwise
we wouldn't be here. But
homosexuality is also a
fact of life. Why do
straight men have so
much trouble accepting
its existence? There must
be a reason, and when
straight men persecute
Gay men, I am suspicious
of their motives. They
demonstrate that they are
people with a problem.

The gentleman contin¬
ues: "You have failed to
distinguish between het¬
erosexual who are latently
homosexual and hetero¬
sexual men who aren t.
Not all heterosexual men
are latently homosexual.
In fact, probably only a
very small percentage
are. Therefore, latent
homosexuality won't stand
up as an explanation for
antihomosexuality."

I haven't distinguished
between straight men who
are latently homosexual
and those who aren't be¬
cause I can't find any evi¬
dence that such a distinc¬
tion actually exists. The
gentleman, along with
other straight men, <?nly
assumes there is a distinc¬
tion. Perhaps he assumes
it because he is trying to
convince himself of some¬
thing, but alas for him,
assumptions aren't evi¬
dence.

At the same time, I
haven't said that all
straight men are latently
homosexual. What I have
said is that it is an idea
that ought to be investi¬
gated. It isn't only Gay
men who have raised this
question, and it isn't only
Gay men who would proit
from some real informa¬
tion on the subject. The
plain fact is that we
simply don't know what
human sexuality is, and it

seems foolish, conse¬
quently, to assume that
we know what heterosexu¬
ality and homosexuality
are. Until we know sucn
things, we can't possibly
have any justifiable
grounds for the condem¬
nation of one or the other.

As I have suggested, a
good place to start an
investigation of human
sexuality would be pre¬
cisely in this area of con¬
flict. I'm not the first

f erson to notice a connec-
ion between latent homo¬
sexuality and antihomo-
sexuality - the idea is

staple of modern psychi¬
atry. Regardless of what
my critic would like to
believe, latent homosexu¬
ality is perhaps the most
widely recognized expla¬
nation for antihomosexu¬
ality in the individual
male.

To put the matter
simply, antihomosexuality
in the individual male is
an expression of attrac¬
tion TO homosexuality.
The man denies his homo¬
sexual impulse and makes
it the object of his hatred
and attack. He doesn't
want to attack himself,
however, so he projects
his hatred onto the object
of his repressed desire.

But let us notice some¬
thing else: the whole of
the male-dominated soci¬
ety is antihomosexual.
Can we therefore claim -
without substantiation, as
my critic does - that
probably only a very small
percentage of straight
men are latently homo¬
sexual? That sounds to
me like wishful thinking,
an attempt at self-justifi¬
cation, and an excuse for
a refusal to confront the
issues involved.

The problem in our
society is not homosexu¬
ality - it's antihomosexu¬
ality. Let's make an
HONEST effort to find
out what causes it.

The mayor, likely to
comment on the new
' political era for San Fran¬
cisco following the Nov. 8
election of district super¬
visors, will seek sugges¬
tions for his continuing
administration. He win
hear about services for

Gay people that city gov¬
ernment can address, how
his administration has

? erformed on them in his
irst two years, and how it
might perform in the re¬
maining two years of his

That dialogue is billed
as one of several commu¬
nity meetings the mayor
is holding with various
interest groups, with later
Gay community meetings
to follow.

Victory Statement

by Harvey Milk

SUPERVISOR ELECT

I ve been asked by many
people why I run for pub¬
lic office. My answer is
simple: Four years ago I
felt that a backlash
against Gays would come
sooner or later, and that
one of our best defenses
would be to have Gay
people elected to public
office. It has now come
to pass, and we are all
winners.

I understand the signifi¬
cance of electing the first
Gay person to public
office and what his re¬
sponsibility is not only to
the people of San Fran¬
cisco but to Gay people
all over. It's a responsi¬
bility that I do not take
lightly. Whoever shoul¬
ders that responsibility
must be willing to fight.
It won't be an easy task.
I'll need adl the support
that all of you can give.

The campaign has had
many heavy moments and
many light ones. One of
the more enjoyable ones
(and one that sums up
much of San Francisco!
happened on a recent
Saturday when I was in
Diamond Heights. I had

to make some phone calls
and went to the local
shopping center. The
center itself is over the
line, in District 9« A
reactionary candidate was
campaigning there, com¬
plete with table and liter¬
ature. He was shouting:
"We must stop this city
from becoming another
Sodom and Gomorrah!"
Along came an elderly
woman, walking heavily
with a cane and wearing a
fox fur piece. The candi¬
date spotted her and, see¬
ing a potential vote,
yelled out again: "We

must stop this city from
becoming another Sodom
and Gomorrah!" Without
breaking stride, the elder¬
ly woman turned and said:
"It's no different now than
it was then. It's not going
to get any better. Ana
it's not going to get any
worse."

To all of you who voted
for me, thank you. To all
who did not, thank you
too. I will represent you
to the best of my ability.
We may continue to dis¬
agree, but I will always be
willing to listen. And I
will always be available.

hoped for a peaceful
Republic slowly, patiently
evolving towards a liber¬

she wrote, "went to the
extreme. It behaved like

She deplored the Com¬
munards execution of
some 500 hostages and,
equally, the death of
25,000 Parisians who sup¬
ported the commune. She
blamed both sides. She
wrote to Gustave Flaubert
the famous writer, "I'll
have no more bloodshed,
no more evil means to
bring about good ends, no
more killing in order to
create . . . let us learn to

The Men in My Uf e

George Sand (1804-1876)

(continued)

by Paul-Francis Hartmann

The celluloid version of
George Sand's life would
have her: lady novelist,
the great love of Frederic
Chopin; they made beauti¬
ful music together. . .

True as far as it goes,
his mistress and inspira¬
tion for 12 years. Ana yet
she was equally his nurse,
his mother, father, and
"man" in his life. Virility
was not one of Chopin's
attributes; while it was
one of George's.

As rich as the Sand/
Chopin affair remains for
investigation, several
other aspects of the lady's
career offer equal inter¬

est. For our era perhaps
even more. Her politics,
her feminism, ana her bi¬
sexuality.

BEFORE MARX

Post-Napoleonic France
was pockmarked by three
short-lived revolutions
(1830, 1848, 1870) and

George Sand was inti¬
mately involved with all
three. She knew all the
revolutionary theorists
and activists (in fact, she
was the lover of several).

In 1840 she wrote, "The
future of the world re¬
sides in the people, espe-
ciall y the working class

them _

united) -will become the
masters of the world ? the
initiators of a new civili¬
zation." When the 25 year
old Karl Marx first ar¬
rived in Paris in 1843, he
was advised above all to
see George Sand, as one
"more radical than Louis
Blanc or Lamartine."

George Sand's was a
Christian communism, to
the left of Christian
socialism, more militant,
more class conscious, but
still utopian and ultimate¬
ly classless in its hope.
(All would come together
in a brotherhood of com¬
mon humanity.)

In 1848 the monarchy
was again overthrown, and
George Sand found herself
writing official circulars
for the provisional gov¬
ernment. She was dubbed
the "Muse of the Revolu¬
tion." But when leftists
later lost out, she and her
friends found themselves
in great danger. In those
turbulent months she
risked prison, exile, and
the burning of her cha¬
teau. It was charged that
one of her political tracts,
"Bulletin lb," had brought
on the "insurrection" of
May and June 1849. As a
result, George remained

subject of the oppression
of women than George
Sand.

In the winter of 1833
she wrote that the great
and near great (men) can
explore life without lim¬
its. For those not granted
the license (women) must
operate in stealth. Their
secret "must be borne in
silence and without false
glory, for society reserves
its most vulgar punish¬
ments and insulting pro¬
scriptions for those who
brave its judgments." She
realized that openness for
a woman - instead of
being a virtue "would be
another stain."

Nevertheless, George
Sand was a woman who
spoke when women dared
not speak out. In 1834 she
scorned the wife's marital
vow of eternal fidelity
and obedience as an "ab¬
surdity" in the first part
and a "baseness" in the
second. "Marriage," she
wrote, "is one of the most
barbarous institutions
society has ever roughed
out. 1 do not doubt it will
be abolished if the human
species makes some prog¬
ress towards justice and
reason. A more human
and no less sacred bond
will replace it, assuring
the existence of children

who will be born of a man
and a woman without for¬
ever enchaining the one to
the other."

In 1830 she left her
husband. In 1835-36 she
endured two ugly trials
for a legal separation and
custody of her two child¬
ren, Maurice and Solange.

All the family's "dirty
linen" was hung in public
view. Her estranged hus¬
band portrayed her as a
common prostitute.

Nevertheless, she won
both the suit and the ap¬
peal. In addition, she
managed to have her
properties returned to
herself and arranged that
her playboy husband be
paid alimony.

In her revolutionary
articles of 1848, George
ranged and railed over the
plight of women as "suf- Schlaflys,
fering the heaviest load of
oppression."

"In order for the condi¬
tion of women to be

easily done and "immedi¬
ately realizable." Eman¬
cipation could be achieved
by rendering to women s
the civil rights that mar¬
riage alone deprives them
of, "the detestable error
of our laws that makes a
married woman an eternal
minor. Yes, civil equal¬
ity, equality in marriage,
equality in the family,
that is what you can and
should ask for, indeed de¬
mand."

Late in her life George
Sand noted in her diary,
"The world will know ana
understand me someday.
But if that day does not
arrive in my lifetime, it
does not greatly matter. I
shall have opened the way
for other women."

informal essays range
from the inside story on
the largest Gay news¬
paper, The Advocate:

I. McQueen, to "You and
Your Job," by John Saul.
Other topics include
astrology, VD. fashion,
the baths, MCC, and amyl

spring and fall to conduct
district business which in¬
cludes time for interview¬

review of Study Groups

presentation and accept¬
ance of a budget, collec¬

"Gay Source" has a
tendency to merely hit
the high spots at times,
but this is understandable
when so much ground is
covered in 287 pages.
One inherent weakness in
such a publication is the
speed with which informa¬

us hope that a new edition
is already being planned.
For events are moving

Anita Bryant may be out

Women’s Space

A Bisexual Perspective
On Androgyny

by Maggi Rubenstein

People often ask how
bisexuality and androgyny
relate ana how they are
different. Margaret Mead
has found that most peo¬
ple are bisexual in their
capacity to love and also
has indicated that people
yearn to be role-free.

Sandra Bern discovered
in her research that not
only is there much more
bisexuality than the sta¬
tistics indicate, but also
that androgynous behavior
within oneself is a sign of
better mental health and
is sought after by more
persons than has been
measured . . . She finds
that sexual and social
stereotypes tend to re¬
strict and repress one's
emotional options and
that the person, whether
bisexual, heterosexual or
homosexual, who tends to
consider her/himself

androgynous, tends to be
more flexible, more adap¬
tive and experiences life
more fully. In adulthood
the healtniest person can
cope with all things, is
self-reliant, yet con¬
cerned for others.

Androgyny is psycho¬
logically based, referring
to a specific way of join¬
ing the "masculine" and
"feminine" aspects of a
single human being,
wherein one can be inde-

f endent, tough and asser-
ive as well as tender,
nurturing and sensitive,
regardless of sexual iden¬
tity or gender. Perhaps
we are all born with the
potential to be bisexual,
i.e. experiencing sexual
attraction for botn women
and men, and androgy¬
nous, i.e. experiencing
psychologically the best
attributes ot so-called
femininity and masculin¬
ity. Put another way, a
person of either sex cam
respond emotionally and
perform tasks based on
what is appropriate to
her/him at the time,
rather than feeling or re¬
sponding with behavior
that is "womanly" or
"manly."

Androgyny, as defined
by June Singer, is an
intrapsychic flowing and
interplay within oneself,
the ym/yang we all

S ossess. Bisexuality, as
efined by Singer, is an
interpersonal reaching out
to both sexes in fantasy
and activity. They are
different, yet she sees one
as being a channel to the
other, a possible option
for all interested persons.

When Carl Jung de¬
scribed the "anima" or
woman in every man, and
the "animus" or man in
every woman, he per¬
ceived these as uncon¬
scious qualities. Singer,
however, as a Neo-
Jungian and as a feminist,
sees that making con¬
scious these submerged
parts of ourselves is
important for our inner
wholeness and our out¬

ward relation to the
world. A woman com¬
municates and under¬
stands men through her
animus; a man perceives
women through nis anima
and if these are under¬
developed one's percep¬
tions will be distorted.
An example of this is the
sexist man who puts wo¬
men down and also is
comfortable only with
traditional "male tasks
and feelings. Another is
the "feminine" woman
who puts herself down to
men and is only at ease
with traditional "female"
tasks.

Children are taught
early in life how to De
heterosexual and either
masculine or feminine by
adults around them. The
education they get, in
schools, on television, and
from role models, rein¬
forces that women
"should" be both hetero¬
sexual and feminine, that
men "should" be hetero¬
sexual and masculine, and
that any shift away from
that posture will not be
tolerated. The tragedy of
sex-role scripting is that
it prevents children,
adolescents and adults
from making choices, hav¬
ing options, whether in
sexual expressiveness or
in general social behavior
and emotional flexibility.

The important message
as androgyny (as well as
bisexuality) is explored is
that we are still learning
about sexual and social
potential behavior and
relationships. Coupling
will endure, as will single¬
ness. Bisexuality, Hetero¬
sexuality, and Homosexu¬
ality as sexual identities
will persist hopefully with
acceptance for all life
styles without oppression.
The labels may eventually
be transcended.

Wherever one's sexual

f (references lie, evidence
rom many social sources,
in research, in practical
day-to-day living, in life¬
styles and human related¬
ness, shows that the more
comfortable all humans
can be in both traditional
and cross-sex feelings and
tasks, the more we can
get beyond sex-role
scripting, the more spon¬
taneous, open and real we
are, the healthier we will
be within ourselves and
toward others.

As Sandra Bern says,
"Behavior should have no
gender."

Fact Or Fiction
About Soliciting

FICTION: The officer

must tell you the truth if
you ask him if he or she is
a cop.

FACT: The officer will

respond with a cover story
about how he is from out
of town, separated from

?;

his wife, very needy - but
usually quite coy about
getting you to state the

essional liars. Women
officers will look you in
the eye and smile real big,
and they are not above
asking you how much (the
same as the men).

FICTION: You have to

accept money to be
busted.

FACT: It is a matter of
policy how far the offi¬
cers will go, or a matter
of convenience. No
money has to change
hands. The crime is
soliciting, a crime of
words. ^

FICTION: You have to do ^

FACT: No act has to 9

occur. A mere agreement <
to have a drink or go to g

enough of an indication to />
the cops that your inten- g

FICTION: It's a good deal i
to plead and take proba- $

FACT: NEVER PLEAD £

GUILTY. Even if it 5
means another day in the

Coors’ New-Found
Advocate

COORS’ NEW-FOUND
ADVOCATE

by David Loring

SAN FRANCISCO - Hav¬
ing iust read the article
on The Coors Controversy
in the latest issue of the
Advocate, I must admit to
being thoroughly confused
by Mr. Goodstein's recom¬
mendation to discontinue
the Coors boycott.

He advises those of us
who believe in the impor¬
tance of strong unions and
those of us who believe
that the right wing indi¬
viduals and organizations
that the Coors family sup¬
ports are detrimental to
the Gay movement, to
continue the boycott for
those reasons. Doesn't
he? He says, "According
to the Coors brothers we
at The Advocate were the
first spokespeople ever to
discuss Gay rights issues
with them.

Perhaps Mr. Goodstein
is unaware of the lengthy
and extensive series of
articles that appeared in
the San Francisco Bay
Area Reporter last sum¬
mer by George Menden¬
hall. Someone obviously
is, to put it mildly, dis¬
torting the truth. I
thought to myself that
perhaps the Advocate
knew something I didn't
and, giving them the
benefit of the doubt, I
decided to read the entire
article. But no, the
article only confirmed
what I had already sus-

F ected, i.e. that the Coors
amily supports Phyllis
Schlafly, the Heritage
Foundation, Lawrence
McDonald, Richard

Viguerie, Howard Phillips,
Governor Meldrin Thomp¬
son. Ronald Reagan, and,
God help us, the John
Birch Society.

Joe Coors would have
us believe that he was
either unaware of these
individuals and organiza¬
tions anti-Gay attitudes
or that the money he
sends them isn't used
against Gay people.
Come on, Joe. Either
you're terribly stupid or
you think we are.

In light of all this, I and
most of the enlightened
people I know will con¬
tinue to boycott Coors
and those Gay bars that
serve Coors. At this
point, all I would like to
know is why Mr. Good¬
stein recommends a dis¬
continuation of the Coors
boycott. Could he be as
politically naive as he
seems? The mind boggles.

BUMPED BY "BUMP
IN THE NIGHT"

Editor:

I have never written a
letter to an editor before
in my life, but I start now.
A couple weeks ago my
lover and I received a
letter advertising a Hal¬
loween costume party.
We bought four tickets for
$20.00. Only at the door
of the event were we told

that there would be no
band, no free kegs of
beer, no apple cider, very
little of what had been

f romised. We had only

2.50 between the four of
us to buy drinks at the
"extravaganza" because
we had not planned an
expense since we relied on
the letter's promise of
free drinks, etc. Our eve¬
ning was ruined. The
doorman would not refund
our money.

Two days later we went
to the Rugby Men's Store
where we nad bought the
tickets, but the store em
ployees lied to cover the
promoters. They said
they could not possibly be
reached for two weeks.
Only when I promised to
take my complaint to the
city prosecuting attorney
did tney "come clean" ana
offer us a refund. The
refund - like their pro¬
gram - turned out to be a
screw-over. We were not
given a 100% refund, but
a 25% refund: $5.00 in
return for $20.00 of no¬
good tickets and a ruined
evening.

We homosexuals have
been the targets of two-
bit hucksters everywhere
in the nation, but the low¬
est blow comes when we
are cheated by our own
kind. I've had it with
organizations which are
Gay-run and tout them¬
selves as the friends of
Gays when in the end they
fuck us over worse than
the straights ever did.

Alliance Elects
President

At the recent meeting
in Modesto, the A.I.C.O.
(Alliance of Imperial
Courts & Organizations)
elected its new President
for the coming term, Billy
De Frank. No new Vice
President or Secretary-
Treasurer has been elect¬
ed yet, as the A.I.C.O. is
in the process of organiz¬
ing new by-laws. The
organization invites all
Northern courts, including
San Francisco's, to join
and further extends a wel¬
coming hand to Gay
organizations and busi¬
nesses who would like to

f articipate in the promo-
ion oi better relations
between the Gay and
straight communities.

Another function of the
A.I.C.O. will be to help
organize events in the
various Gay communities

in Northern California so
that events of one Court
or organization do not
coincide with those of any
other in order that other
members may help pro¬
mote and support the

? articular event or func-
ion of the sponsoring
member.

For further informa¬
tion, write to William De
Frank, President,

A.I.C.O., P.O. Box 453,
Oakland, CA 94604, or
call (415) 893-2854.

Gay Joins
Human Rights
Commission

SAN JOSE - The Human
Relations Commission in
Santa Clara County was
joined by a new commis¬
sioner, Dave Steward - ex
school teacher and up¬
front Gay. Steward, 34,
was appointed by Super¬
visor Dan McC or quo dale,

which marks the first
time an out-of-the-closet
Gay has been selected for
any Commission in Santa
Clara County.

Steward is currently the
local Director of Counsel¬
ing and active in San
Jose's MCC. He taught
elementary school in San
Jose for eight years. In
1975 he received an MSW
from San Jose State Uni¬
versity. His Master's

thesis was the first from
the School of Social Work
dealing with homosexu¬
ality, entitled "Out of the
Closets: A Quarter

Century of Change in Gay
Identity."

"I don't consider myself
a 'Gay' commissioner,"
said Steward. "I will'not
be a one-issue commis¬
sioner, and won't go deaf
when other issues are be¬
ing discussed."

West Coast
Women’s Video
Festival

The First Annual West
Coast Women's Video
Festival is being held
November 18-20 in Studio
One at San Francisco
State University.

PAGE 22

Sponsoring the event is
the Women's Communica¬
tion Coalition, a produc¬
tion group which evolved
from the Broadcast Com
munication Arts Depart¬
ment at San Francisco
State University, along
with the San Francisco
Women's Centers. The
Coalition successfully
presented videotapes from
the New York Women's
Video Festival last year.
This year the Coalition is
presenting an original
juried showing of tapes
done by women on the
West Coast. The Coali¬
tion hopes to create an
annual showcase to cele ¬
brate women's video work.

The selected videotapes
are on 1/2" and 3/4"
format, color and black &
white. There will be five
different programs shown
over a three-day period.
Each program is designed
to present a mixture of
humorous, poignant, and
political material so that
the viewer can get a
multi-level perspective on
women's lives. Four sep¬
arate viewing environ¬
ments are being designed
with multi-monitor set¬
ups to allow the viewer to
watch the tapes in several
unique areas.

Admission for the festi¬
val will be $2.00 general
and $1.50 for students and
senior citizens. For spe¬
cifics call 526-3954.

John Reardon as Hajj in “Kismet” caught in a rare, candid
snap leaving the Orpheum Theatre.

Stage: Kismet

In the show biz bible,
the 2nd Commandment
reads "Thou shalt not per¬
form ’Kismet' without
Alfred Drake!" Thus it
was written and thus it
has always been. The
Civic Light _Opera, infi¬
dels all ; dared to break
convention and actually
has had the nerve to
mount a new production
of "Kismet" with a Metro-
olitan upstart named
ohn Reardon in the role
of Hajj. Where, oh where,
is Alfred Drake? Well
frankly, I don't know and I
don't care; Reardon will
do just fine, thank you.

With a superb resonant
baritone and a wonder¬
fully tongue-in-cheek
style of acting, John
Reardon dominates this
dandy revival as the poet
beggar- who, by a rapid
succession of good fortune
and dumb luck, becomes
an Emir in the palace of
the wicked Wazir. Chalk
it up to kismet (the
Arabic word for fate). In

the course of events,
Reardon sings eight songs
by Robert Wright and
George Forrest set to
Borodin's symphonic music
and lends am easy charm
that permeates the entire
production. Racing him
neck 'n neck in the charm
and talent department is a
lovely sprite named
Victoria Mallory as his
daughter Marsinah. Miss
Mallory possesses a fine
soprano voice and man¬
ages the neat trick of
taking a dull ingenue role
that only requires beauty
and voice and makes it
work by acting conviction.
Some of her lines would
choke Glenda Jackson, but
Mallory delivers them
beautifully by simply be¬
lieving. Together, Rear¬
don and Mallory are an
unbeatable combination.

work; when he and
Mallory team up to sing
"Stranger in Paradise," it's
chills time. The only
disappointment is Bernice
Massi as the undulating
sexy wife Lalume. Miss
Massi throws away a good
deal of her double
entendre lines, losing the
sting and punch that
makes Lalume's every line
a zinger. She's a gorgeous
clothes horse and sings
adequately, but the fun of
the role escapes her. And
that veteran actor Murray
Matheson is a joy as the
legendary Omar Khayam.

The choreography,

based on Jack Cole’s
original showstopping con¬
ception, is recreated by a
stunning redhead named
Bonnie Evans, who also
essays the former Bea¬
trice Kraft role of Prin¬
cess Samaris. Evans is

fair and appealing that
half the female populace
of 18th Century England
is trying to lure him to
their boudoirs. Richard¬
son gives it a stultifying
treatment that moves at
the pace of a Chinese
water torture and ulti¬
mately, means nothing.
The photography is excel¬
lent, giving us a grim por¬
trait of the filth, poverty
and cruelty of the time,
but where "Tom Jones
was a merry romp,
"Joseph" is a dismal
.crawl. The humor is de¬
rived mainly from fart
jokes, the action is labori¬
ous, and the entire con¬
glomeration of talents
nominates it for a heavy
contender in "Worst Film

of This or Any Other
Year."

For the record, Ann-
Margret portrays a vile
seductress named Lady
Booby, Peter Firth is the
fair Joseph (and even his
fleeting nude scenes don't
warrant paying money to
see it), Beryl Reid is a
vulgar harridan lady-in-
w aiting, a newcomer
named Natalie Ogle^shows

f iotential as Joseph's one
rue love, and Jim Dale
manages to give the only
interesting performance
as a gypsy peddler. They
all can and have done
better, so we cannot fault
the actors; doubtless they
thought at the start of
filming they were going to

make a rollicking succes¬
sor to "Tom" too. The
blame lies solely on
Richardson's indulgent
shoulders, aided greatly
by a dreary screenplay by
Allan Scott and Chris
Bryant.

"Joseph Andrews" is not
in release at the moment
locally. But don't worry;
as soon as the reviews
have died down, it will
doubtless be brought back
in the hope that you will
have forgotten all you
have read. Or maybe, m a
month or two, it will pop
up on TV; it's not worth
seeing, even for free.

outstanding, with that
powerful crisp technique
that separates the princi¬
pal from the chorus. Dur¬
ing "Rahadlakum," it was
Evans over in one corner
of the stage dancing
chorus that riveted my
attention.

Not meaning to detract
the compliment, part of
this was due to Albert
Marre's unimaginative
staging. He has a nasty
1950 s habit of plunking
the principals front ana
center for their big num¬
bers, then have forty
people dance wildly be¬
hind them. Who do you
watch? The mad 40 ? of
course. "Not Since Nine¬
veh" and "Gesticulate" get
short shrift because of
static staging; the original
1953 direction is not very
exciting today. The sets
by Oliver Smith are opu¬
lent and the costumes by
Frank Thompson uneven.

My one major complaint
is the cutting of Mar-
sinah's solo rendition of
"This is My Beloved;" the
quartette is exciting, but
tne final soaring effect is
lost and with a singer of
Mallory's quality, it's an
inexcusable loss.

"Kismet" is a glorious
evening of fantasy that
merits your attention.

The chorus, both singers
and dancers, are firstrate,
the look is lavish, and the
principal performers lus¬
trous. If you enjoy an
evening of romantic
escapism, then this

This benefit premiere of “Julia” for the
California Public Policy Center will support
the Center’s efforts to increase public under¬
standing of solar energy.

California can be the capital of a new solar
energy industry in America. It will create
thousands of jobs in a new decentralized
industry.

If we can have crash programs to go to war
or to the moon, why not a crash solar
program to rescue us from the energy and
economic crisis we are facing?

Certain people interested in controlling the
development of solar energy want us to be¬
lieve that solar technology is “not ready”
but the state Energy Commission has repor¬
ted that solar energy is ready for commer¬
cial use now.

To develop solar energy today, California
needs a public agency to plan the installation
of solar equipment for water and space heat¬
ing in every feasible home and office. We
call the proposed agency SolarCal; a program
of loans to small businesses and consumers,
tax incentives, building code reforms, and
research and development for a solar industry.

the chagrin of the Stage
Manager.

The large cast hope
that this snow will pro¬
mote a greater harmony
within the Gay communitv
and also be a creative link
of understanding between
it and all other segments
of San Francisco. With
the idea that Gay freedom
and world acceptance can
be effectively promoted
through the arts, the cast
has created a musical re¬
vue for all people, a revue
that artistically stresses
acceptance of all people
through laughter and em
pathy rather than tears
and sympathy.

ESCLARMONDE, it is j
interesting to be able to!
view it from an historical*
perspective to see the!
work of an eager, young*
composer before he hit his,
stride.

The plot and production*
are high camp, not far]
behind the silent two-reel*

Babylonian epics that j
came out of early Holly-*

Wagner wrote his first j
opera, DAS LIEBESVER- *

BOT, he knocked off j
about 50 main characters i
in the first act and then]
brought them back as*
ghosts to finish off the
Spera. THE KING OF
LAHORE is loosely based
on a chapter of the Ma-
habharata, allowing Mas¬
senet the juicy gimmick
of reincarnation. The
opera is written along
formula lines, with grand
scenery changes and
exotic atmospheres to
satisfy the Parisian audi¬
ences of the time.

The "necessary" ballet
takes place under hilari¬
ous circumstances. "Li his
paradisal gardens on the
slopes of Mount Merou,
the god Indra lives bliss¬
fully with a company of
nymphs and immortal
spirits. Here the apsaras,
the lovely houris whose
charms the god employs
to bring about the down¬
fall of ascetics when their

S enances have gained
iiem alarming powers,
dance to the Tlutmgs of
the god Nareda. Here
celestial choirs praise the
eternal delights of their
divine home." If you
rolled together the plots
for ESCLARMONDE, I
PURITANI, and Gounod's
MIRIELLE (where the
heroine crawls across the
desert and meets every¬
body she just left behind
in time for her mad scene)
the end product would be
equally credible.

Miss Sutherland is still
in good voice as she nears
her 51st birthday. Her
music was not as effec¬

SAN FRANCISCO OPERA

Back at home we have
been luxuriating in a su¬
perb production of Rich¬
ard Strauss' ARIADNE
AUF NAXOS, with an in¬
credibly solid cast.
ARIADNE actually is two
operas in one; tne first
act takes place backstage
before the presentation of
a young composer's opera,
ARIADnE AUF NAXOS.

Taking on the dual roles
of the Prima Donna and
Ariadne for the first time
in her career, Leontyne
Price let her voice fill the
house with its dusky
warmth. She managed
several bits of comedic
stage business with flair.
The opera progresses from
the backstage chaos, to
the ponderousness of the
composer's new work,
then veers sharply as
Zerbinetta's troupe of
Comedia Dell'Arte players
takes over the stage.
Finally, it vaults into the
stratosphere with the
duet between Bac¬
chus and Ariadne.

Ariadne looks as if it
will be a strong role for
Miss Price in the late
years of her career, a
relude to a long-awaited
arschallin. At an age
where many sopranos are
left with naif a voice,
Price is holding her own
magnificently. Her policy
of limiting her engage¬
ments has paid off; the
tones are stul rich, thick,
and luscious. As the
Composer, Tatiana Troy-
anos was simply perfect.

A superb artist, her sing¬
ing was impassioned!,
clear, and had a beauty to
its tone that was remark¬
able. We can happily look
forward to her Octavian
next year in DER ROSEN-
KAVALIER.

To my mind, the eve¬
ning belonged to Ruth
Welting as Zerbinetta.
Ms. Welting, who sang the
student matinees of
LUCIA here several years
ago, is now primed to be¬
come one of the top
coloraturas in the new
generation of singers. She
possesses a pert, sassy
stage personality, is an
accomplished actress, and
has an innate musical
sense. She managed
kicks, danced adorably
and carried on all througn
Zerbinetta's aria (the
most ball-busting piece of
music in the entire color¬
atura literature). Her big
aria brought down the
house on successive eve¬
nings. She is a talent to
watch. If there was one
weak point to the evening,
it was the Bacchus of
Alan Cathcart, whose
voice was pinched and
sounded ill at ease.

Special kudos are due

tive and detailed staging.
The final moments, with
Ariadne and Bacchus sail¬
ing off into a starlit sky

Interesting news is that
we are due for another
world premiere next year
- an opera by Marvin
David Levy (whose
MOURNING BECOMES
ELECTRA has been much
neglected since its pre¬
miere at the Metropolitan
a decade ago). The lead¬
ing lady will be none other
them Clamma Dale, who
had a smashing success in
the Houston Opera's pro¬
duction of PORGY AND
BESS. We can also look
forward to Gwyneth Jones
in FIDELIO, and Judith
Blegen as Sophie. Better
go water those silver
roses!!

George Heymont

“That’ll be $7.00 please,” says Dick Shawn, who not only
wrote, directed, conceived and stars in his own one-man
show but also sells tickets, ushers you to your seat and
sweeps up afterwards.

"Comics are a pain in the ass • • . but funny!"

So says Dick Shawn, star and entire company of
"The 2nd Greatest Entertainer in the Whole Wide
World," now playing at the Alcazar Theater. And
Shawn should know all about comics, having been an
off-the-wall master comic since his initial debut on
the Arthur Godfrey Talent Scouts in 1950. He didn't
win; first prize went to "a 320 pound housewife with
6 kids who sang something very high!" But un¬
daunted by this Wagnerian setback, Shawn continued
to ply his trade in nightclubs until a mere three
years later, when he was signed to appear with Betty
Hutton at the Palace Theater in New York. The
newcomer from Lackawanna was such a sensation
that Hutton demanded his name be put up next to
hera in lights.

Not bad for a kid who was signed up by the
Chicago White Sox, got drafted and quit college
after one year to seek fame and fortune as a comic.
After Hutton, Shawn appeared with Marlene
Dietrich ("9 balls, every one of them!"). He recalls
Betty Hutton "left her nusband because he staged a
bad act for her." But amiable Dick Shawn got along
with all the tough ladies, building a reputation as an
easygoing entertainer who posed no problems, and, if
audiences didn't always understand his sense of
humor, his star rose steadily, culminating in his
screen performances of "Mad, Mad. Mad, Mad
World" and the spaced-out hipster who portrayed
Adolph Hitler in "The Producers." These are only
two films Shawn chooses to recall, though there
have been several others he'd just as soon forget.
"When you get caught up in the commercial end of
the business, it's hard to turn all that money down."
But Shawn admits he has never been career-
oriented.

"I carry my own music, nobody picks me up at
the airport. I've never had a press agent and I
haven t had an agent in 7 years. fm a total
maverick! I never look for work; I never thought in
terms of career. Just aim me at the audience and I
go. I don't even have an address. You have to mail
everything to
ry; I neve
. _ „ - ye«

they send it all to Marvm.'

"The Maverick Comic" is probably the best
description of Dick Shawn, onstage and off. A
couple of years ago, he took a year off to do plays
for $125 a week at Brandeis University, Yale and
Florida State, just to satisfy the actor in him. Also,

on my own.

time is of the essence . . . I'm afraid I’m not going to
be here long enough to express myself. There's only
one me, just as there s only one you. So I believe we
have an obligation to be the best you there is. I'd
5*,® to remembered as someone who tried to be
different by being himself."

He hasn t done the talk show circuit in over a
year. I work on a routine for 8 months, go out and
perform and it goes over, then I sit down, Charo
comes out and snakes her tits and they don't know
Im there. I believe in selling the talent, not the
personality. I don t believe you can sustain on
personality, and I believe in longevity. That's why
I ve lasted. 25 years. I don't talk about my personal
° n • • • I believe a man only has his personal
liie to draw from and how he mounts it is his talent.
Your personal life spills over onstage. A1 Jolson was
a hated man ancf had maybe one friend, but
audiences loved him. And I understand that. On a
stage it s so easy to talk to an audience, but I could
never talk to them offstage ... I can talk about any
^4 b J® c t because I know nothing about anything . . .
All humor comes out of hostility. But if you're
bitter and it comes through in your work, the
audience hates you. That's what happened to Lenny
Bruce. He won the Godfrey Show the week before I
was on it, we started together, but Lenny let his
hostility turn into bitterness and it ruined him."

Dick Shawn has never been a stand-up, one-liner
type of comedian. His comedy is sketched on a
broad canvas and relies heavily upon physical ex¬
pression. Movement is half my act; that's why I
never put anything on record." I first saw him in the
mid-50 s with Eartha Kitt at the Chicago Theater,
climaxing his act with a long monologue about a
Civil War veteran returning home. "That was the
first piece of material I ever wrote." It was a
classic gem, in the Red Skelton tradition of laughing
through tears, hitting on several levels simultane¬
ously. Years later, it was the fabled Latin Quarter
in New York, where Shawn did a priceless panto¬
mime routine about a baseball player. Audiences
used to the Henny Youngman style of rapid delivery
werent quite sure what Dick Shawn was all about,
while the rest of the audience were on their feet
cheering. Shawn admits he cannot sit through the
gagster, one-liner comedian himself, and while

that "David Brenner is the funniest man in

the world," Shawn's only personal idol was Zero
Mostel, whom he replaced on Broadway in "Funny
Thing Happened. . ."

"I work in a classical vein. It's always contem-

—t—--_: _ __ _a. _ • t £

very happy with myself because people are accept¬
ing whatTm doing. When they stop accepting it, I'll
be unhappy. I was in Peoria, Illinois, a couple of
months ago and they accepted me, so now I'm
thinking of quitting the business. When they
understand you in Peoria, it's all over!"

With his premature grey hair and his devastat-
ingly dry wit ; you have to be careful when Dick
ShawnTs putting you on and when he's dead serious.
The zingers drop constantly, mixed into weighty
observations ? but the one thing that shines through it
all is that Dick Shawn is a survivor, a man who lives
for the moment and marches to his own drummer.
Im the only one I understand."

"The 2nd Greatest Entertainer in the Whole
Wide World" is the culmination of 25 years in show
business, showcasing Shawn in all his many facets.
It is totally his own creation from start to finish.
It s directed insanity, a series of observations on
American life I've had in my life in all forms of
theater. It s a play; it has a plot. I've always felt

my material was more geared to the theater than
clubs, so I've taken all my best material and put a
thread to it. It's a stream of consciousness in the
mind of the performer before the performance, like
a performer who doesn't think he's funny any more,
and then discovers he still is." And as in all truly
great comedy, there is an underlying sadness that
makes you root for the performer to triumph, a
quality Shawn has in abundance. _

"2nd Greatest Entertainer" will only play 4
weeks because Shawn opens in Vegas for the first
time in 5 years on Dec. 3rd. Risking the possibility
of pushing my luck, I ask Dick Shawn if he can
advertise nimself as "The 2nd Greatest Entertainer
in the Whole Wide World," who does he consider the
first?

"If you're religious, it's God. If you're an
athiest, it's Sammy Davis Jr.!"

Beaux Arts Ball
77

The 17th Annual Beaux
Arts Ball graduated this
year to the Civic Audi¬
torium. Tickets ranged
from $25 for "ringside"
seats to $3 in the balcony;
prizes totaled $5,000. Rip
Taylor. Las Vegas and TV
comic/crazy man, head¬
lined the show. Costumes
were more elaborate and
exotic than ever.

The cavernous Civic
Auditorium, however, at
times overwhelmed both
producers and contest¬
ants. As a result, the
pageant didn't run as
smoothly as in previous
years. Many contestants
had trouble maneuvering
the runway, which extend¬
ed out into the crowd,
across the auditorium and
then back to the stage.
Hence, the presentations
appeared overly long with
several contestants simul¬
taneously on display.

This year's theme,
"Twilight of the Gods,
lent itself to spectacular
other-worldly costumes
and tableaus. Yet the
music chosen by the con¬
testants to back up their
entrances treated the
audience to five hours of
snatches from Wagner,
Mahler, Berlioz, Offen¬
bach. Comic, light¬
hearted moments were
few and far between.

The judges for the eve¬
ning included Lori Shan¬
non (Donald McLean),

around long enough to
deliver what he promises.
(Still, "Reckless" and
Straight From The Hip
Kid are good hip-shakin'
nut-rockers.) "Crack in

dramatic ballad with lots
of vocal reverb and
spacey electronics, is the
best song on the album
cause he sounds clearly
COMMITTED to a more
urgent expression of the
EMOTION dictated by the
lyrics: frustration. Most
of the time, however, he's
a showoff billboard stud,
flexing his vocal muscles,
crowding each song with
every vocal trick he ever
loint, rubbing his elastic

and displaying his ex¬

exuberant physical pres¬

believe that he's trying to
communicate a specific
emotion and harder still
to figure out exactly what
that emotion be. (RAT¬

LINCOLN CENTER

BRIEFS

by George Heymont

Last month I attended
the opening night of the
New York Philharmonic in
*a special all-Wagner pro-

§ ram under the precise
aton of Erich Lemsdorf.
The program consisted of
the overture and Venus-
berg music from TANN-
HAUSER, and then Act II
of PARSIFAL with Jon
Vickers and Janis Martin
as Parsifal and Kundry,

and John Cheek as a very
impressive Klingsor. This
was also my first chance
to check out Avery Fisher
Hall since its remodeling.
The acoustics are now
superb; one would never
know it was the same hall
which had plagued the
Philharmonic since it
opened Lincoln Center a
decade ago. The new in¬
terior is warm, creating a
far greater sense of
intimacy and light.

Leinsdorf conducted
admirably, an approach
which boils down to "Let's
not fool around; let's pay
attention to the music and
do it the way it's written."
The orchestral sounds
were not only full, they
were remarkably clean.
Vickers was in superb:
voice. As always, his dic-i
tion and phrasing are
perfect; the man has an|
innate sense for the
music. Janis Martin pro¬
vided a lush-sounding
Kundry. John Cheek's
singing was beautiful; this
man has an interesting
career ahead. The per¬
formance was roundly
applauded, not only be¬
cause the musicians de¬
served it, but somewhat
out of relief that they
now have a hall which
does justice to the sound
of their music.

Across the plaza at the
Metropolitan Opera

House, I saw American
Ballet Theatre's new pro¬
duction of THE NUT¬
CRACKER, choreo-

§ raphed by Mikhail
aryshnikov with sets by
Boris Aronson. Visually
the production was beau-

tiful^ although it lacked
some of the light fantasy
element that one expects
from any production of
NUTCRACKER. Barysh¬
nikov aimed for a more
supernatural interpreta¬
tion, but, alas, did not
succeed. Much of the
choreography seemed toj
be filler material, not]
very inspired when the;
music was almost pleading;
for drama. In this produc-l
tion Drosselmeyer, as por¬
trayed by Gayle Young, is
a constant walk-on
catalyst who, because of
his detached attitude,
makes one wonder if this
is a cross between Baron
Von Rothbart and an
undertaker. The perform¬
ance was rather uneven.
Clark Tippet as the Nut¬
cracker Prince was an
able partner and a stun¬
ning figure when he was;
given choreography that;
was flattering to him.!
Leslie Browne as Clara!
had a rough night, falling
several times on a fog-
covered stage ? and
costumed in a nightgown
that worked agamst her
dancing. The second act
became confusing; as if
Baryshnikov were not sure
what he wanted and tried
to put the pieces together
witn no final weave. The
only moment which
caught fire was the
Russian Dance, as per¬
formed by George de la
Pena and Brian Adams.

vying for a parking space

with Bob Ross??) Maroan.
Our hotel. Sweet Lips had

made our reservations.
And, I still have them . . .
a chic little palace named
the Paramount-Heathman.
All class, from A to B.
Their employees ranged in
age from early chicken to
very old crows.

You can tell they were
delighted to see us. They
had washed and dusted
ALL the plastic flowers
and plants.

My roomie, Sweet Lips,
had checked in the day
before. The entire hotel
staff was already in a
complete state of shock.
Now, I'm not saying that
Lips is pushy or anything.
But ... he had them do
over our bathroom in new
wallpaper. In a stunning
(name of the Father, Son,
etc., etc.) butterfly design
for me. I owe him. Boy,
do I owe him. . .

Thinking that a hot tub
(no shower) would refresh
the ol' bod, I turned on the
taps. The water ran Gold¬

and I pooled our money
and sent Luscious Lorelei
out for some Lysol bath-
ro<pm spray. Luscious was
going out scouting for a

Krisfal With A "K" of the

comfortable ... in baby
dolls, hair in curlers (wigs')

had already picked up his
weekend supplies. Eight
dirty magazine. And a
case of chili. (He eats it
cold put of the can, you
know.)

After a hearty, rib-
sticking breakfast of cof¬
fee ana booze, it was time
to visit our SF neighbors
. . . to find out who was
staying in which rooms
... so we would know
whether to hide our jewels
and money or not. Know
what I mean? We didn't
have to. Our floor was
the 9th, rapidly taking on
the look and sound of a
sorority house. Next to us
was Henry Devon Koff,
who brought his own silk
sheets and pillow slips. If
that didn't upset his
chambermaid! Down the
hall . . . The Lady Fluff -
that is, Jimmy Quinn. His
roommate, the gum¬
snapping Chuck

Across from Jim and
Kristal, Mel of the Outer
Limits completely re¬
arranged ALL the furni¬
ture m his room. Mel
claims he moved his bed
so he could enjoy the
magnificent view of the
solid brick wall from his
window. So why did Mel
have his vanity mirror
propped up at the foot of
his bed . . . and, the other
mirror at some peculiar
angle almost over his bed?

Next door to Mel, the
imcomparable Luscious
Lorelei of the N'Touch
had settled in . . . adding
the last minute touches to
his coronation gown. For
you fashion-conscious
fans, Lush had created a
floating creation in black
silk jersey bordered in
black & white feathers
denuded from every poul-
. 25 mil(

try ranch within a 25 mile

radius of Petaluma. Good
taste always tells, don't
you know?

Somewhere on this
same floor, we could hear
Bob Ross and Skippy
Taylor turning their hotel
room into a cozy home.
Skippy planning his menus
. . . Ross stashing his
gross of lollipops on the
dresser, while tne TV set
is tuned in on the early
morning cartoons. Bob
was simply furious! He
forgot to pack his comic
books. . .

In the room right below
Lips and myself, funny
sounds like gasping, heavy-
breathing and - floating
out the open windows for
all of Portland to hear -
an animal shout of "Take
me, take me" turning into
Yeeeeoooowwweeeee . . .
gasp ... sob ... sob .. .
whew issued. Turned out
to be the famous dance
team of Bob Golovich and
Dale McMinn. Practicing!
Using their shower (no
tub) was Bill "The Kid"
Bonney of the Andromeda.
Poor dear got so nervous,
he shaved his sideburns
crooked.

Seriously, thank good¬
ness Golovich was there.
Jimmy Quinn had forgot¬
ten his wig block, you see.
And Bob ... out of the
kindness of his heart . . .
volunteered his supreme
dome so the Lady Fluff
could prepare all the wigs.
That nonsense you hear
about Golovich having no
sense of humor is all
lies. . .

In the meantime, while
our doll Joel Coleman was
already burning up the
phone wires doing his very
brilliant aide-de-camp
things for the SF line-up
(what a perfect term) for
the coronation, who shows
up lugging all those fuck¬
ing plaid shirts but my
King Number Three, Boo
Cramer. Looking for a
place to park. Seems
even in the Portland
"tubs" there is a time
limit. They offered
Cramer a bargain rate

during his stay" . . . but
you know Bob. He re¬
fused. They wouldn't put
in his own telephone. Be¬
sides, they wouldn't give
Joel a pass so he could
drop in . . . from time to
time ... to perform his
secretarial duties . . .
need I mention that
Cramer moved in with
Coleman. Also hordes of
new friends.

GLASSES”

MY FIRST AD APPEARED MAY 1975

Other ads which followed made it clear that Gold
Water was my only scene. So a number of "straights”
and "bi's” theorized that I would not last — that my
own would put me down or drive me into the closet.

I felt that my Gay Brothers (especially in S.F.) would
accept me into their circle.

With this, my 35th ad and 3rd year, it's obvious their
theory is shot.

Would like to share the
following letter, which
arrived recently in the
mail:

Dear Mr. Lips:

Perhaps you have heard
of me and my nationwide
campaign in the cause of
temperance. Each year
for the past fifteen I nave
made a tour of New
Mexico, Louisiana^ Texas,
and parts of Southern
Oklahoma and Arkansas,
delivering a series of lec¬
tures on The evils of loose
women and drinking.

During this tour I have
been accompanied by my
friend and assistant,
Beecher Livingston.

Beecher, a young man of
good family and excellent
background, is a pathetic
example of life ruined by
excessive indulgence in
whiskey and women.

Beecher would appear
with me at these lectures,
sit on the platform
wheezing and staring at
the audience through
bleary, bloodshot eyes,
sweating profusely, pick¬
ing his nose, passing gas
and making obscene
gestures while I would
point at him as an exam¬
ple of what over-
indulgence can do to a
person.

Last winter, unfortu¬
nately. Beecher died. A
mutual friend gave me
your name. I wonder if
you would .be able to take
